Creating labels

Before creating a label, you must first choose a label definition, which formats your document so that you can print on label sheets or rolls, and then insert an address. For information about label definitions, see “Creating labels.”

You can type addresses on labels or choose addresses from an address book. You can insert addresses from a WordPerfect or Microsoft Outlook address book. For information about WordPerfect address books, see “Using the Address Book.” If you want to use a Microsoft Outlook address book, you must configure WordPerfect to use your Outlook address book as the default address book. For more information, see “Choosing an address book for WordPerfect.”

You can insert a POSTNET bar code on a label. For example, you can use an 11-digit delivery point bar code, a 5-digit ZIP code, or a 9-digit ZIP code.

WordPerfect lets you discontinue labels. When you discontinue labels before filling an entire page, blank labels are added to complete the page. For example, if you type twenty-one labels on a thirty-label page, nine blank labels are added.

After creating a label, you can print it. For information about printing labels, see “Printing envelopes and labels.”
